You skipped the most obvious answer of perfectly legal and legitimate email marketing.
The line between marketing and spamming is VERY oddly blurred here, right in the heart of the industry. It's very very strange to see such a misconception by the supposed experts.. very very strange indeed.
People do know that email marketing isn't automatically "spam", don't they? One is legal, the other is not. The differences are super clear. No fake headers, no spoofed IP's, physical address and phone number and functioning opt-out link. The sexually-explicit tag if your email contains such images. All simple for a legimate business to have in place.
So why jump to the illegal way before trying the right way?
Simple damn question.

Actually I did a number of things. TGP's, galleries for a short while, SEO for quite a while and than I met a friend. I don't know if I classify it illegal, but I was offered to learn the tricks of the trade from a guy in the know and for free so I did just that.
